Chapter 177 Mizuki Private High School (Forty-nine)
The incident happened rather suddenly. Twelve had originally heard the eldest lady's instructions and was supposed to look after Chaka, after all, the other party was carrying a flag.
According to what both parties had agreed upon, the flag tea card must be handed over once the monster is defeated.
But neither she nor Liushen seemed to have judged from Chaka's previous behavior that she had such strong abilities, so that before they could take any action at all, she, along with the eldest lady and the president, had already disappeared into the thick smoke.
Fortunately, President Barbie reacted quickly and caught up with the monster that had recovered the three-dimensional slice when she was completely surrounded by smoke.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, and everyone was surrounded.
Although President Chaka was lost, seeing that he had been swallowed up together with the eldest lady and the president, there shouldn't be any big problems. Twelve immediately shifted his attention to the monster student in snow-white.
Therefore, when his vision was no longer occupied by the thick smoke, the monster student felt that there were inexplicably several more hands on his body, and there were several people around him who were eyeing him covetously.
She spread her hands somewhat dissatisfiedly, as if trying to express her dissatisfaction with her limited expression.
What does this mean? Didn’t I just talk about it with your eldest lady?
I won't go back on my word. Why are you following me so closely?
She couldn't speak, and the situation in this place was unclear. Twelve could roughly guess what she meant. Before he could even see clearly how deep they were, he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.
"Don't get me wrong, we are not here to watch you, but to protect you,"
She freed one hand and gestured anxiously while speaking, seemingly forgetting that the monster students could understand her. "We haven't got the young lady's things yet. Now you put them back into your body. If something happens, we will have worked in vain. Besides, this place is a bit strange. You don't want to change back yet, so you should explain it here first, right?"
The conversation just now has laid a good foundation in the monster student's mind, so she is not opposed to other people in Nan Huan's group. After hearing what Twelve said, she did not object.
"Shh, keep your voice down, there's something else in the woods."
President Barbie had been observing the surroundings since she entered the foggy forest. She could vaguely hear that something seemed to be approaching rapidly while Twelve was talking.
And it wasn't just the noise coming from beneath the surface. There seemed to be something in the thick fog not far away, but it wasn't very clear.
Twelve fell silent along with the others. Liushen also held his breath, using his skills to sense everything around him.
“Quick, step back…” But in just a moment, her face turned pale, and her hands that were making seals became a little stiff. Under the confused gazes of everyone, she vomited a mouthful of black blood, “Calm down, don’t be confused…”
Except for the monster student, everyone else present was aware of the six gods' individual skills.
Especially Twelve, after seeing Liu Shen spitting out blood, he immediately loosened his hand that was holding the monster student, and embraced Liu Shen's shaky body, and at the same time immediately followed the other party's order and retreated.
She knew that the Six Spirits could sense emotional changes within a certain range, and when necessary, she could determine whether a person's words were true or false based on the changes in their emotions when they spoke.
Often, the greater the emotional changes, the more severe the backlash to the six spirits will be.
But Liushen's personal skills have reached a very high level. At least Twelve hasn't seen her suffer such a serious backlash of vomiting blood for a long time.
There were no enemies making any sound around, so it was obvious that the energy of emotional changes in the vicinity had clearly exceeded what Liushen's body could bear.
But how is this possible?
After all, she had seen Liushen try to use his personal skills in crowded places like the game hall in order to hone his abilities.
With so many people around, she just looked a little pale, and it wasn't as serious as vomiting blood.
Twelve had no time to think or ask.
Because at the moment they moved, something suddenly emerged from the originally smooth ground, and the thick fog above the bushes not far away also dissipated a little, revealing something strange.
The feeling of being stared at by thousands of purple eyes was not pleasant, especially when these eyes carried other indescribable temptations.
The skeleton on the ground seemed to be just there to attract attention and was quickly dealt with by Mocha Meng.
“Don’t look…” Liu Shen wiped the blood from his mouth, “Don’t look at those eyes. They are releasing endless evil and resentment. If you look at them for too long, you will be disturbed…”
Everyone closed their eyes immediately, but did not dare to stop their hand movements.
Twelve swung his whip, and those densely packed eyes were hit, causing screams.
But based on the density she had just seen, she knew that her attack would not have a fatal effect. While Twelve was thinking of a countermeasure in her mind, she held Liushen in her arms and took out the potion from the control panel.
"Are you okay? Don't use your skills from now on."
Liu Shen drank several bottles of mind-bleaching drugs before he barely recovered. Before he could even open his mouth, he was interrupted by a rapid chirping sound beside him.
The monster students had a time restriction. Apart from the eldest lady's terrifying skill, she had never suffered any loss before, so she didn't care much about those eyes.
She closed her eyes first, then as if she felt something, she opened her eyes after a moment and confirmed the fact.
But she couldn't speak, and now everyone else had their eyes closed, so no one could hear her even if she wrote. She could only make high-pitched sounds to get everyone's reaction.
"I'll do it, you all close your eyes."
President Barbie was the first to react. She spoke first and opened her eyes immediately.
They discovered that the purple eyes that were originally blocked behind the bushes had passed through the bushes and stopped not far from them.
"I opened my eyes and they stopped moving."
The monster student wrote on the palm of President Barbie's hand. Although the writing was sloppy, it was barely recognizable.
"President Barbie, what's going on?"
Twelve couldn't see the situation in front of him, and because of the monster student's cries, he didn't dare to whip him again, and he felt a little anxious.
President Barbie quickly understood the situation in front of her. She frowned and said in a serious tone, "When those eyes are not being watched, they will quickly approach us. When they are being watched, they will stop where they are. Now they have passed the bushes and are about ten meters away from us."
Although it didn't feel good to be stared at, President Barbie instinctively felt that leaving it alone and allowing them to get so close was not a good idea.
"Close your eyes and don't move. Continue attacking. I'll go see if there is any other way out."
President Barbie kept her eyes looking straight ahead and slowly backed away, trying to see if she could leave this place.
On the other side, Chaka was also looking for a place nearby where she could temporarily leave, but to her disappointment, the forest in front of her looked similar to the one they had been in before. However, in just a short while, they were surrounded by dense eyes.
"I can't find a place to break through for the time being," Chaka said as he shot the arrow with a flaming tail in his hand. The flames swept away a large number of eyes, bringing wailing, but at the same time more eyes appeared.
The dizziness and unreality brought by those eye comments were getting worse. She bit her tongue to keep herself clear. "There's something strange about this place. Normally, once my arrows are on fire, they won't go out easily. But the thick fog in the air seems to have some kind of isolation effect, and the power brought by the arrow feathers is offset."
Although Bei Xi on the side did not open his eyes, the arrows in his hand did not stop shooting. However, the same was true for the air arrows, and their power was compressed in this space.
Nan Huan kept his eyes closed, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Feeling the urging of the hand on her shoulder, she hesitated for a moment before admonishing, "Be careful. If you try and it doesn't work, come back immediately."
At some point, A Liu had transformed into his true form and was standing next to the three of them. When he heard Nan Huan finally speak, he nodded cautiously.
Chaka only saw a white shadow emerging from the air and quickly rushing towards the eyes not far away.
Unlike real enemies, A Liu did not use any external attack skills. Instead, a white light was emitted around him, secretly engaging in some kind of confrontation with the thick fog in the air.
Of course, Nanhuan and Beixi, because they had their eyes closed, could only confirm the situation through Chaka's description.
And because Nan Huan had made A Liu his 'believer', he could feel the other party's power even with his eyes closed.
However, Nan Huan didn't know much about the opponent's skills. He only knew the skill of "Spirit Behind the Scenes" that the system had prompted. When he was in Senli, A Liu used this skill to kill the Assassin's Guild President.
It seems that this should be the opponent's main skill, just like the player. In addition to this, she has other additional skills.
But before Nanhuan could figure out what was going on, he felt that A Liu seemed to be attacked by some force and that A Liu seemed to be suffering some pain.
At the same time, a huge force pushed back A Liu and the white light around her.
Chaka quickly grabbed the other person's shoulders to prevent her from bumping into Beixi and Nanhuan.
"Miss, this is... the abyss," Ah Liu said quickly after stabilizing himself. "The purple eyes on the other side are all evil spirits. I can't fight them. There are too many of them."
"Are you injured? Come back and rest."
Nan Huan didn't care what the abyss and evil spirits that A Liu was talking about were. Whether it was the other party's voice or his own feelings, he could feel that A Liu's current condition was not very good.
Although her life was not in danger due to Nan Huan's protection because of her "believers", Nan Huan still felt that her actions just now were a bit too hasty.
"No... don't be anxious," she calmed her somewhat rapid breathing. "The abyss is the gathering place of evil spirits. They are artificially nurtured with malice and evil spirits. Looking directly at them can destroy people's minds, stimulate the potential malice in normal people's hearts, and make normal people enter an unknown illusion. Contact with them will make ordinary people fall into the abyss forever. If the person trapped in the illusion has not woken up from the illusion before being contacted, he will never wake up."
Nan Huan didn't know whether it was because of the system's previous prompt that A Liu's current level was an evil creature, or because of the other party's soul state, which caused her to know the evil spirit in front of her like the back of her hand.
"But usually when we call ordinary people into the abyss, the master of the abyss will also be there. That is to say, among these many pairs of eyes, there is a pair of eyes that belongs to the master of the abyss. As long as we find the other person's eyes before we completely lose consciousness and sink into it, we should be able to break the abyss and get out of here."
Nan Huan could already feel that A Liu was getting weaker and weaker. As soon as the other party finished the last word, she had an idea and put A Liu back into the control panel.
I kept feeling that after the other party entered the control panel, he was able to absorb my strength, and the situation was no longer serious. Only then did I finally face up to the problem that Liu had just mentioned.
"It's no use closing your eyes." After a few seconds, Nan Huan had figured it out and gave the answer with a burst of blood. At the same time, she and Bei Xi opened their eyes together.
"If you close your eyes, you will die. If you open your eyes, you still have a chance of survival."
Bei Xi was on the same front with her. While speaking, she reluctantly freed a hand to press on Chaka's shoulder. "But in order not to fight alone, it's safer to enter the illusion of only one person."
Chaka was silent for a while, trying not to shake Beixi's hand off, but his tone wasn't very good, "Are you sure this will work?"
"Not sure, but it doesn't cost much to try."
Bei Xi refused to give in.
She didn’t know if it was Nan Huan’s illusion, but she always felt that there was a sense of tit-for-tat when the two of them talked. She felt that Bei Xi had considered everything very comprehensively. After hesitating for a moment, she also put her hand on Chaka’s shoulder.
"You don't have to do this, one connection is enough."
Bei Xi was reluctant, and spoke incoherently, which was rare for her. It was obvious that she couldn't stand the contact between Nan Huan and Chaka.
But before she could finish her words, she caught a glimpse of Chaka's expression, which showed that he had such an expression, and he also put his hands on her and Nanhuan's shoulders.
Bei Xi swore that she put her arm around his shoulder just to avoid looking awkward. "What are you doing? Don't be so casual..."
Before she could finish her words, Nan Huan hooked his hand on her shoulder and covered her mouth. "Shh, stop arguing. If you two have the time, you should find out which of these eyes are different before you are pulled into the illusion. According to A Liu, the owner of the abyss should be here. You still remember what Morpheus and the people around her look like, right?"
Although Bei Xi was a little frustrated, she looked at Nan Huan who was still in her arms and finally found some balance in her heart. "Excluding Belial, he should not have two main skills at the same time. The possibility of someone else is more likely. In addition, because Morpheus wants the fragment of the faith totem on you, maybe she will come in too."
"Well... I'm not the one pouring cold water on you, am I?" Chaka finally joined the discussion.
Nan Huan found that maybe it was because of the previous conflict between him and Bei Xi, Chaka seemed to talk more and be more lively. "To me, these eyes seem to be cast from the same mold. Even if I remember their faces, I can't tell who is who."
Because she had been seeing the same scene for a long time, and these eyes had the ability to bewitch people, Chaka felt a little physically uncomfortable. She gradually felt that her reaction was slowing down.
"How about I give you the flag now, and we end the battle, and then we can get out of here?"
Chaka wasn't too worried about his situation, and finally confirmed it with Nanhuan.
"You'd better think about how to get out of this illusion, and don't say things that boost others' morale but destroy your own prestige."
Nan Huan felt that his speaking speed was getting slower and slower, and the activity of his pupils was decreasing.
At some point, she saw the purple fog being instantly magnified, and the tiny particles, as if they smelled something, rushed towards her. Nan Huan felt as if something in her heart was hit.
